Not only does exfoliation physically remove dull or dry patches from the surface of your skin. Exfoliation can also help to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, by increasing collagen production. It can even help to lighten dark spots caused by hyperpigmentation or sun damage.

Benefits of Regular Exfoliation

Exfoliating is essential to any skincare routine if you want glowing, healthy skin. Regular exfoliation can give you a more youthful complexion with an even tone and texture. Additionally, when you remove dead skin cells from your skin’s surface, you allow for better absorption of other products, including moisturizers, serums, and oils that can penetrate deeper into the layers of your skin for added hydration and nourishment.

Regularly Exfoliating:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin soft and supple.
• Assists in removing dead cells to make room for new skin
• Brightens the appearance of skin
• It helps promote good health.

Dry Brushing helps with exfoliation:

The natural oils in our facial oil and body scrubs are easily absorbed, leaving your skin nourished, soft, and beautiful.

Exfoliation Happens Naturally.

The skin is the largest organ in our body, and one of the skin’s primary functions is to protect from infections and germs. If you are in good health, your body has an innate ability to produce new cells continually. Think of the top layer of skin as a strong layer of healthy cells that blanket the skin and protect unexposed cells.

Every 30-40 days, the cells “turn” and break down, revealing a new fresh layer of skin.

By removing dead skin cells and speeding up the renewal process, your complexion will look brighter, smoother, and more vibrant.

Out With The Old, in With the New!

As we age, natural skin cell turnover slows and may take up to 90 days to complete—gentle exfoliation is most important as the skin ages. Regardless of age, picture self-exfoliation is assistive to the natural process of cell regeneration, moving out the old cells to make way for the new.

It’s important to be gentle with the skin when exfoliating—use soft circular motions and avoid scrubbing harshly, which can lead to inflammation. If you have sensitive skin, try a gentler product that suits your needs, such as our 100% plant-based Sugar Scrub Sea+Tea, made with organic cane sugar crystals—it buffs away dead cells without stripping vital moisture from delicate complexions for radiantly smooth younger-looking skin at any age!
